No doubt, the Milwaukee Brewers had a historically bad four-day visit to blustery Chicago, but one prominent member of the team tweeted out a nod to recent Wisconsin sports history in urging fans to stay calm.

The Brewers, shut out three times in the four-game set against the Cubs (first time that's ever happened) and collected just one earned run overall (lowest ever in a four-game set), fell to 16-13. The four losses came in the immediate aftermath of an eight-game winning streak.

Of course, Shaw is referencing a sentiment that will live in Wisconsin sports lore, when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers famously advised fans to R-E-L-A-X on his weekly radio show with ESPN Milwaukee in 2014. The Packers had started the year 1-2 but went on to finish 12-4 and reach the NFC Championship Game (yes, that NFC Championship game).

"Five letters here just for everybody out there in Packer-land: R-E-L-A-X," Rodgers said at the time. "Relax. We're going to be OK."

The Brewers may very well be OK, too. The 2011 Brewers team that won a franchise-record 96 games started the year 13-16 (and 13-19, for that matter), and there are plenty of examples to suggest the Brewers are in fine shape, even as they drift down to fourth place (albeit just 1.5 games out of first) in the division.
